Ok, who's been?

Was it all its cracked up to be?

How did you travel?

Where did you stay?

Would you go again?

What sort of money did it cost?

How long were you there?

etc etc etc......

Really interested in going with a few mates but unsure about how to go about it all and organise it. So i need to know of your experiences and how you got on.

Cheers People

9-11 July at Rudskogen is the biggest event of the year. Hotels in Sarpsborg is your best bet, you'd need a rental car to get there as public transport in pretty much non existent.

How did you travel? Car, boat, car, boat, car

Where did you stay? In a tent... a wet one

Would you go again? Would love to go again, plan to in the future

What sort of money did it cost? Not sure, Gatebil paid, but the exchange rate was mentally high, v pricey

How long were you there? 3 or 4 days

We only took a boat because we were travelling with so much kit and cars.

If I were you, I'd just jump on a plane and book yourself into the nearest hotel. Although camping is a laugh as you get to hang out at the track, and try to get in Norwegian girls pants (The girls out there are simply incredible.... plus some of them put it about abit)

The drive/boat way takes a bloody long time, the plane is probably cheaper too.

Thats great news, may give you a call on some parts for you to bring.
Nice to see you again then. Get yourself a better place to have your stand this time
